The Bob Gibbons Tournament of Champions is set to get underway Friday, and as usual the Memorial Day weekend event will host a handful of Duke targets and commitments. The event will feature some of the top talent in the nation, including the Rivals.com No. 1 overall player and top priority recruit, Brandon Knight.

Also in attendance will be two Blue Devil commitments - Joshua Hairston and Tyler Thornton - that saw their rankings drop in the recent release of the Rivals150. Hairston and Thornton lead the way for a strong DC Assault squad that hasn't yet lived up to their expectations this spring. Hairston, who was previously listed as a five-star prospect, fell to four-stars and out of the Top 30. Hairston told Devils Illustrated this week that the TOC will hopefully serve as a springboard for his return to the five-star ranks.
